Alright, I'm on my 8 day break from work, I'm going to start doing some clean up, replies, as well as starting a few new things. 

First things first, of the 5 Active Characters (Trix, Alya, Megumi, Rilana, and Vera), so far Trix, Alya, and Rilana have completed the required RPing for wages this season. Season ends Midnight PST Saturday. If you Megumi and Vera wish to collect their wages, they need to at least have started a work sort of story by then. I do apologize for the late heads up, but worst comes to worst, there's always next season. 

Secondly, Zael and Foster are our newest characters. As such, I'll be starting RPs with them as GM. I do wish to see more of you RPing with one another without the need of a GM, it can be quite fun. So welcome yet again you two, and I hope you enjoy it here.

Thirdly, this next season I'll be starting Two new group quests, these ones will be longer, and will require a bit more time and dedication (and patience). These quests will be larger in scale and plot, but if your characters manage to make it through, the rewards will be greater. 

Fourthly, NaNoWriMo starts soon. I want to do an Ebonfort sort of NaNo event. So what I'm thinking I will do is as follows. If you can reach 50,000 words in RP material with a single Ebonfort Character, you will gain a +50% (starting at Novice, lower for higher ranks) experience bonus in all of those RPs you've written. To track this, you can use whatever word count tool you'd like, and post it at the bottom of each post written in November. I'll keep a running total, and will be double checking these. 

Fifthly, I will be doing my best to update more of the lore during this break, focusing on the city/village/magic and Screamer write ups first. If you have any specific requests, please let me know.

As usual, feel free to ask questions, comment, whatever.
